Part of a local monument to past sailors from the area	Several people were fishing along the side before the event opened	I thought this was a pretty neat thing to have	The "Fair Jeanne" a brigantine from Ottawa
This woman explains it was originally a yacht built by a former navy man from World War II	This is the "Nina" she appeared in the film 1492	She was built strictly using 15th century techniques	My favorite, the "Larinda", a boston schooner
It is full of interesting details	The design is based on an 18th century fable	It has many hidden layers	Thought this was a nice design
Now this was a serious sized jolly roger. It looked at least 10 feet across	Kris & Tom Kastle, a pair of fine and versatile folk singers	Tom Lewis, a powerful singer and a great guy	I have to admit I didn't expect to see this here
